If y-18=14, then what is the value of 3 (y+5)

Y-18=14

Well, to start off, what is y?

Move 18 to the other side

y-18=14

+18+18

thus,

y=32

Then just plug n chug, into the second equation

3 (32+5)

distribute the 3

3*32=96

3*5=15

then add what you have multiplied out

96+15=111

Thus, the value of 3 (y+5) = 111.
